If we raise the CW speed to 20 WPM for all classes including the Tech
class, hams will tend to study the theory more while they build up
their code skill and they will understand the theory better and won't
need to ask silly questions. So increasing the speed requirement will
get us better & smarter hams.
Who is "we"?

FCC makes the rules. They're the ones who have to be convinced. For
more than 25 years, FCC has been convinced that the Amateur Radio
license exam requirements should be reduced. The changes have come a
little at a time, but the direction has been the same since the late
1970s.
So what's the hold up? Code has nothing to do with intelligence,
not6hing to do with dumbness.
I know, but we can send them emails and tell them we won't go for anymore
dumbing down or simplification.
Do you plan to take up arms against your government if they drop the
code?
They'll do what they want, but at least
we tried.
